Reaching for a Star: The Final Campaign for Alaska Statehood

Autor Gerald E. Bowkett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2009
In 1955, with the drive for statehood stalled, a group of men and women from all over Alaska, delegates "with strong convictions, given to strong, often colorful expression," created a state constitution that is now considered a model.

Eisenhower said "NO" to Statehood but Alaskans were determined.

The prospects of winning statehood were bleak in 1955. President Eisenhower felt it woud be "imprudent" to admit Alaska to the Union and Congress was reluctant to act. "The steam has gone out of the statehood movement," commented TIME magazine. At this low point, Alaskans drafted a state constitution and elected a "congressional delegation" to lobby for statehood in Washington. It was an audacious move but one that ultimately put a new star in the American flag.
